LJM Maritime Academy physics and mathematics lecturer Dr. Alvin Hepburn reminded cadets and staff at the LJM Maritime Academy to be thankful for all the opportunities they have been given at their recent day of thanksgiving.
Dr. Hepburn urged cadets to be thankful for their lives as they are, and to not worry about the things they do not have, the things they wanted and wished they had, but to instead learn to appreciate that there is great value and goodness in what they do indeed have, no matter the circumstances or conditions.
The academy presented food items to the Great Commission Ministries International that provides hot meals and clothing to the poor.
The LJM Maritime Academy opened its doors in October. The non-profit tertiary institution, offers maritime education and training in nautical science deck/navigation and marine engineering. The $30 million campus is located just north of Arawak Cay, on the soon to be named Maritime Cay, formerly occupied by the now defunct Coral World attraction.
The academy's first cohort of students includes 41 high school graduates from New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Andros and Eleuthera.
